   ACR 10, Machado.  California Architecture Week.
   This measure would proclaim the week of April 12, 1999, to April
18, 1999, inclusive, as California Architecture Week.




   WHEREAS, Architecture influences the daily lives of all
Californians through the definition and enhancement of the areas in
which we work, play, and live; and
   WHEREAS, More than 20,000 licensed architects practice in
California and are entrusted by the state to protect public health,
safety, and welfare through their concern for, and understanding of,
such important issues as seismic safety, growth management,
accessibility for people with disabilities, historic preservation,
energy conservation, housing for the homeless, and the sensitivity of
the relationship between nature and the built environment; and
   WHEREAS, California architects have been recognized as forerunners
of architectural design in the United States and have helped create
California's unique visual character through their innovative and
responsive designs of public and private spaces; and
   WHEREAS, Architects have worked with teachers to establish a built
environment education program in California's public schools to
teach young people about the relationship between people and their
built environments; and
   WHEREAS, The American Institute of Architects, California Council
(AIACC), in representing architects and the architectural profession
in California, has worked in concert with other organizations in the
design and construction industry to endeavor to streamline the state
government's regulations of their industries; and
   WHEREAS, Architects at local AIA chapters have worked diligently
to represent architects and the architectural profession and to serve
the public interest on such issues as community disaster assistance
following earthquakes and fires, managing growth, housing the
homeless, and preserving the architectural heritage of our
communities; now, therefore, be it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature hereby proclaims the week of
April 12 to April 18, 1999, inclusive, as California Architecture
Week and urges all Californians to become aware of architecture,
architectural design, and the architects who helped to shape our
built and natural environments and create our livable communities.
